Do you know what it costs to dryclean an asbestos pantsuit?!

At an early point during last night's Democratic presidential debate, former Senator John Edwards dared to challenge Senator Hillary Clinton on a range of issues.  She waited for a beat or two, and then----with a steely look----admonished him for "mud-throwing."

Poor Edwards cowered in the corner for the rest of the night.

Because you are not allowed to challenge New York's Junior Senator, her rivals and the press back off, let her have her zone of delicate flower womanhood, while she rolls over all of them.  If anybody raises questions about her positions or the fact that she's flip-flopped or that she's incapable of standing for anything beyond her own ambitions, they are accused of throwing mud, victimizing a woman, and "swiftboating."

Last night, she went back to the tried and true:  the "yes/no" "answers" and the rote lines about being "comfortable in the kitchen."  Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd---the most seasoned guys on the stage----just shake their heads in disbelief that they're losing to this hack.

Nobody throws mud more pointedly and more efficiently than the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team.  But they attack others for doing it (even when the others aren't) because it lets her get away with never having to answer anything.

That's her scam.  It's pathetic to see that she's still working it, and it's still working for her.

I like Joe Biden, I hope when Imus is back on air he has the good sense to go on Imus in the Morning on 77WABC NYC. They took out a format many of the Presidential Canidates could have used to get traction. I don't think the targeting of Imus by Media Matters was an accident. Hillary Clinton took credit for establishing Media Matters at a Kos Convention...and now the head of Kos is going to write articles for Newsweek..Newsweek the people Imus, had on all the time. Newsweek- Weasels. Time made Anna Marie Cox an editor another person who bailed on Imus after availing herself of on air time on Imus in the Morning. These magazines Newsweek and Time have hit all time lows.

To criticize her position on anything, or to criticize the fact that it took her two weeks and a firestorm of criticism to settle on a decision results in an accusation of throwing mud at her and being a member of the vast right wing conspiracy. I think you call that disease paranoia. I understand the Clinton campaign was very pleased with Wolf Blitzer's performance during the debate. I could have guessed that they would be very pleased with his questions, they probably wrote the questions for him to ask.

The Government-Media Complex fix seems to be in for Hillary to be the Democratic party choice to run in the 2008 election. Look how CNN's Wolfie turned into a lamb and failed to ask the candidates tough follow-up questions in this past week's democrat debate after Hillary claimed to be a victim of mud slinging (If she can't take the mud slinging, how will she take what the terrorist headcutters sling?). Look how each of the candidates shrunk from challenging the haughty Hillary.

Hopefully in the end though, the SHRILL, HAUGHTY, PEAR-SHAPED BATTELAX will lose the general election. It will soon dawn on people that 8 years of listening to her shrill bulls*t, enduring the corruption that follows that couple everywhere, watching the ruination of our healthcare system, and having our taxes raised substantially IS TOO MUCH TO BEAR.

People will also realize that the presidential choice of 5 out of 5 Middle East terrorists CAN BE WRONG FOR THE SAFETY SECURITY OF THE U.S. Right now, the terorists among us are waiting for the expected crowning of Queen Hillary. After she restores cuts to the military and homeland security, and, after she puts back the communication walls between the FBI, CIA, and local enforcement agencies that the Clintons erected during the 1990's; the terrorists expect to attempt a decapitating strike on our homeland. Our votes in the 2008 election are crucial.

Electing someone who will continue the fight against Islamo-fascist Imperialism is the only thing that will stop that attack and prevent our irreversable decline into a third world nation.

Still obsessed with CLIT, Monica? Do you have some kind of sexual problem?

[FK]

Let me help you out for your future essays: CLIT CLIT CLIT CLIT . . .

Does seeing the word several times in a row get it out of your system?

Or is your next acronym going to be the Clinton United National Team? Ha ha, funny. Let's do more acronyms based on offensive references to female body parts because it's just so clever; right, Ms. Ph.D.?

Freddo,

Monica's a normal woman, but you, as a tranny, don't know what you are!
No wonder you're so mean and miserable.
My condolences!!

[J. Pierpont Finch]

FREDK,

SLINGING MUD at Monica, again. Surely, you can do better than picking on girls, can't you?

[J. Pierpont Finch]

OH MY GOD!

I'm not CHARLIE and CHARLIE is not me!

IT'S A MIRACLE :-)

[J. Pierpont Finch]

OH MY GOD!

I'm not CHARLIE and CHARLIE is not me!

IT'S A MIRACLE :-)

Finch,

What do you expect from a tranny? He/she thinks that being that way gives him/her license to bully girls.

I look forward to Hillary in the General Election campaign because I believe her nomination will unite the Republican Party (especially the base) like nothing has ever united the base of the Republican Party since 1860 when Lincoln ran against the expansion of slavery. Hillary represents the Nanny State, increases in taxes, more Nanny State regulations, and using her own words, "taking their profits". She wants to take the profits of oil companys and form a new government agency to manage and plan the redistribution of those profits. That is a "planned economy". She obviously missed the fall of the Berlin Wall while she was the First Lady of Arkansas and keeping an eye on her husband while he was using the Arkansas State Police as his personal pimp. She can scream "mud" until she is blue in the face but her past (and Slick Willey's past) will be front and center in this campaign and the name "Monica" will be front and center (not our sweet Monica Crowley) but the other Monica L.

[FK]

In response to the criticisms of me, let me respond as maturely as your hero Monica: CLIT . . . CLITCLITCLIT . . . CLITTTTTTTTTTTTT

[J. Pierpont Finch]

Very profound, FREDK. Incapable of stringing two or more thoughts together to present reasoned arguments in support of a conclusion, I guess that's the best you can do.

[DavidK101]

Charlie can't handle a clit, Fred, literally or figuratively. I dug into some of the archives and apparently the little fella likes to visit "boy spanking" sites on the web.
As my dear old Grandma used to say, "What can you expect from a pig, but a grunt."

[cal1968]

Monica puts Hillary into an asbestos pantsuit because she has the hots for her and doesn't want to damage the goods.

[FK]

To quote Monica: "Lamp-throwing . . . CLIT . . . libs . . . ha ha ha ha ha!"

[M/M]

Monica, I discovered you through the Don Imus message boards. I have tremendous respect for you for defending Don Imus at a time when the backstabbers and weasels who appeared on his show had no problem throwing him under the bus. Originally, I was a "Today" show fan, but I stopped watching because I was thoroughly disgusted by the way Don Imus and Bernard were treated by MSNBC and NBC, especially since those networks shamelessly used his show to promote their own reporters. Although the great journalists at NBC preach about not becoming part of the story, they certainly have no problem exploiting the story.

I've happily replaced NBC with WABC. The good thing about the Don Imus debacle is that I've discovered you, Patrick Buchanan, Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh as a direct result. I've been listening to Sean Hannity since 2001, but MSNBC, NBC, CBS and Eliot Spitzer are the ones who fully "Hannitized" me, not Sean. I'll be watching you and Pat Buchanan Sunday on "The McLaughlin Group".

[cal1968]

M/M. Is that Mighty Mouse?

Evolution will take care of you folk, "Natural Selection".
Although the last of you band together as if you were a majority,
you are dying out.

[M/M]

M/M is not Mighty Mouse and it is not Media Matters, which is the group that went after Don Imus. It is supposed to stand for M&M but typepad won't let me type an &, so I used /. I'm not very creative.

I just finished reading Patrick Buchanan's STATE OF EMERGENCY last night and it is alarming. We are all going to die out as a nation if we don't address this immigration issue.

In the past, immigrants were allowed to assimilate into the culture, but the numbers of immigrants entering the country now are just too high for assimilation to take place. In addition, the problem is compounded because the 14th amendment grants citizenship to babies born in the U.S., women are flocking over here to have their babies. Current immigration allows for "chain migration" which means you can bring over other relatives, like spouses, parents, children and siblings. So, one baby alone is bringing over an awful lot of people with it. The immigration problem is growing exponentially.

If most of these people are illegal, they are either working "under the table" and not paying taxes and some are on pubic assistance. This means that our tax burden is increasing and there is a strain on our public resources.

Cde. Mandrake,

So you've waved your magic wand and turned my into a pervert like yourself.

I see that when you're not hanging out here, you frequent the porn sites? Wouldn't surprise me if you, and the other names you go by, turn out to be a member of NAMBLA!!

I am certainly succeeding in making you lowlife libs
show your true colors, and reveal to the visitors and participants here, and the world at large, what a bunch of depraved and perverse maggots you are.

Fellow Americans, take heed!! What we're witnessing on this message board, is the true nature of a Socialist and Lib. Ask yourself seriously--"Are these the type of people you'd want in charge of your lives?"

[FK]

Maybe UpChuck should be in charge?

[charlie]

Cde. Freddo,

You'd better pray that they don't put me in charge.

As the good book says: "Those (able-bodied persons) who don't work, shouldn't eat."
The first thing I would do is put all you loafers and parasites on a farm and make you earn your keep.

[FK]

I work, Mr. Up-Chuck, so I wouldn't fit into your category of loafers and parasites.

BTW -- have you ever heard the term "working poor"? Some of those you think are loafers and parasites are probably working harder than you.
